This you see as the north pole forming near the north pole of the solenoid. Like poles repel, unlike poles attract is kind of a misleading analogy(I find it strange that I realized this after reading your question). What actually is happening is that the tiny magnetic dipoles inside the magnetic material(a bar of iron, for example) align with the direction of the magnetic field.
Introduction. Magnets have north poles and south poles. These attract each other. But two north poles will repel each other, as will two south poles. Iron is magnetic, so any metal with iron in it will be attracted to a magnet. Most other metals, like aluminium, copper or gold, are not magnetic.ut two north poles will repel each other, as will two south poles.
